Who's Who: Belgian young riders Véronique
de Baecker
New
member of the Belgian F.E.I. Riders' Profile page is
Véronique de Baecker. The 20 year old rider from
Brasschaat, Belgium, has created a magnificent list
of achievements over the past 7 years. With her Dutch
NRPS pony Fuego (by Ismael ox) she became the quadruple
Belgian Pony Champion, further, she won the individual
silver medal at the 1994 European Pony Championships
in Hasselt (BEL), and a 3rd individual place and team
silver at the 1995 Championships in Achselschwang, Germany.
Quickly changing to horses at age 16, Véronique
made this difficult transfer pretty easily. With the
Dutch warmblood Herrzas (Consul x Urgent) she won team
gold at the 1996 CDI Hickstead and participated in the
European Junior Riders Championships in Moorsele (BEL).
After taking a break in 1998, Véronique is totally
back now as she hushed every sound round the arena by
winning the consolation finals at the 1999 European
Young Riders' Championships in Ksiaz, Poland. Trained
by the German Hermann Gössmeier Véronique
has more in store for the future.
